118527 Jiminy Cricket

This is a livery-paint for the Leading Edge Simulations Douglas DC3/C47.

Paint made by Leen "Flybike" de Jager

This paint depicts (more or less,within the limitations of the model and its painter) the C47-D ,118527 "Jiminy Cricket "

Historical Note:

"Jiminy Cricket" is depicted as it flew for the Sicily operation in improvised night camouflage.

It was one of the original 52 C-47s that deployed to Egypt with the 316thTCG in December 1942.

"Jiminy Cricket" was one of the first from the 316th Sq. ATC, to visit Project 19, delivering worn out parts and returning rebuilt

engines to the RAF.

It eventually took part in the invasion of Sicily, where, the pilot, Sgt. George Quisenberry received wounds from German FLAK.

The shell destroyed the nose of the Aircraft, knocking out all instruments except the stand by compass.

Jiminy carried the crew back with nothing but the moon and the sticking standby compass.

Jiminy Cricket was repaired and served through May 1, 1947, then was "salvaged"

The skin-set includes cockpit- and (freighter-) cabin textures as well.

Passenger-seats, luggage-racks ,airco etc.removed from the plane.( its a freighter now !!)

Livery dedicated panel and cockpit colors
